Indiana Governor Mike Braun will allow the execution of Roy Lee Ward to move forward.
Ward is to be executed next month for the 2001 rape and murder of 15-year-old Stacy Payne of Jasper.
Ward was denied clemency last week by the Indiana Parole Board.
The Indiana Supreme Court also denied Ward’s motion for a stay of execution.
Braun reached his decision Monday morning.
Ward is to be executed by lethal injection on Friday, October 10th.
